## TL;DR
Fix this in Adaptive Planning by acting on the exact problem first: open the Adaptive Planning integration log for the actuals load, fix the failed mapping or period error named in the log, reload actuals for the single affected period, and reconcile the loaded total to the GL trial balance for that period before reopening the variance report. Do not rerun the whole workflow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one account, period or department first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

## Use this when
- The operation in Adaptive Planning fails with this exact problem: Adaptive Planning variance report failed actuals not loading from ERP.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- A variance report, forecast, commentary or board pack step is blocked until this is resolved.

## Not for this skill when
- The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with a business judgement such as the budget itself or a materiality call. That is an FP and A decision, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure on one named account, period or department in Adaptive Planning and record the full problem text plus the account, period or report involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: open the Adaptive Planning integration log for the actuals load, fix the failed mapping or period error named in the log, reload actuals for the single affected period, and reconcile the loaded total to the GL trial balance for that period before reopening the variance report. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring accounts, periods or departments that share the same mapping, template or load, because this class of failure rarely affects only one scope. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Adaptive Planning on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the GL actuals, the approved budget or the planning system record, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the report or close file so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

## Variant phrasings

### Adaptive Planning variance report failed actuals not loading from ERP
The verbatim form searchers paste from the console, report or run log. Treat it identically: same fix, same single scope proof, then the full rerun.

### How to fix - Adaptive Planning variance report failed actuals not loading from ERP
The how to phrasing for the same failure in Adaptive Planning. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

### Adaptive Planning troubleshooting for this failure
The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

## Why it happens
The variance report is only as current as the last successful ERP load, and a mapping, period or credential failure in that load leaves the report running on stale or empty actuals without changing its layout.

## Edge cases
- The period was closed, the budget was reloaded or the org mapping changed after the failing run started. Refresh the scope state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
- The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other scopes. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared load or mapping can hide more than one cause.
- The source systems disagree on the correct value. The GL governs actuals, the approved budget version governs plan figures, and the planning system governs forecast; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: Adaptive Planning at current versions, plus Power BI, Excel, Tableau, Looker, NetSuite and Adaptive Planning where the query names them; sources of truth are GL actuals and the approved budget, and no extra tooling is needed beyond access to those source records.
